Thanks. A friend recently said "Wow, good shots, you must have an expensive camera." I said, "That's like telling a cook, "Good meal, you must have expensive pots and pans.""

That is a huge yard. By the time you finish mowing, you have to start again.

Yep, 2.5 acres.

Andy, beautiful pics. The trees are starting to turn here too. I am going to try and make it out tomorrow and do a little walk about and see if I can catch some beauty too. Thanks for sharing!

Andy sorry to highjack here, how does the H1 steel in the spyderco perform

Good so far. Similar to the VG-10. Haven't tried to sharpen it yet though.

Living on the Wet Coast I am thinking of buying one

You can find a deal if you keep your eye open. I got mine for $25 shipped. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I took Sallie for a walk to the graveyard near my house. I came across this huge limb that had fallen on a couple 100-150+ year old graves. I thought it was sad that they didn't have any descendants that visited to clear it. I thought their graves looked unloved and forgotten.

I had my Chopweiler with me, so I decided to clear what brush I could, since no one else it seemed cared to.





Sallie decided to help…








Sallie helping…




Not perfect, but better than it was. I would need a chainsaw or something to get the rest. Several hours later now, my arms are still sore from all the chopping.




That’s my house you see in the background in the center.


View of the entrance to the graveyard. Where I was chopping was to the right off the frame.


View up the hill at the graveyard. After chopping I headed up the hill and fixed a few American flags that had fallen into the mud. The ground was pretty frozen, so it was hard to do.


Frozen creek.




View of the edge after all that choppin'. Not bad. A few strops on a ceramic stick and it was razor sharp again.

the only thing the dead have is respect from the living. sad to see that none is shown by that family for their own.

cool dog btw

Good job cleaning up the grave site.Back in NC in the 80s I used to hunt some farm land across from where I lived and I came across a small family grave site.There was only 4or 5 graves.A couple dated in the 1780s.I usually stoped by and checked them out when wandering through.
Thanks for the memories and pics. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />
